Ella Toone's hat-trick helped Manchester United stun Manchester City 4-2 as they leapfrogged their neighbours in the table.
Toone had never found the net against City, but changed that in a barnstorming derby at the Etihad Stadium. Two first-half strikes by Toone, alongside Leah Galton’s 21st-minute tap-in, put the visitors in control amid an error-strewn City display.
Gareth Taylor’s side fought back before the break, however, through Vivianne Miedema and Rebecca Knaak.
It set up an intriguing second period, but Toone completed her treble a matter of seconds after the restart when City keeper Khiara Keating’s clearance was charged down.
